Alice or Freya?

[LolaBumble]

Which to go for!?

Other suggestions welcome too… We already have a Poppy! Love the name Clover, but would never be brave enough.

@MajorMerrick , I haven't really. It was nice because it was unusual, but that novelty wore off.
I feel like that about most names from other cultures/languages.
They tend to be very popular for about 10 years then soon sound tired.

I think you have replied to the wrong person, lol

Alice

I love Alice, I would have used it for my second child only for he was a boy!

@MajorMerrick , no. Like you, I've never really liked Freya, but always liked Alice.

A friend has a Freya, named when it was unusual, so it seemed OK because it was different. Now it seems really ordinary and doesn't look or sound very nice.

The comment about culture/language wasn't really directed at you.It was more that I can see it seeming dated ar some time.

Ah right, I get you now, lol

i know a 58yo Freya, she always thought her name was unusual and loved it, she’s so upset it is now common place, lol

@LolaBumble one more to add!
Poppy & Dahlia

Touched a nerve?

Alice but dont be afraid to choose Clover.

I like Clover - it's done well for Clover Stroud - I'd go for it if you like it, just give her a conventional middle name so she can switch if she doesn't

I love Freya though - but it became v v popular 15 or so years ago so might feel a bit dated

Alice is fine

What about Jasmine, Robin, Esther, Verity, Ida, Carys, Elsbeth

Alice

Are you sure you don't see Reya!

Alicia is a nice variant of Alice, although perhaps overused now.

I used to hate my name (Alice in Wonderland, Who the fuck is Alice), not madly keen on it even now. I taught an Alix a couple of years ago and thought it was so much nicer than Alice.

Clover is a cows name for me, I'm not keen on Alice it's a bit wet and my first thought was 'Who the fuck is Alice'.
I love Freya though.
